Abstract This talk will explore the “new star” studied in 1572 by the Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe with the help of his sister, Sophia, who was an astronomer, chemist, and historian in her own right. We know now that this star was actually a Type 1A supernova which currently exists only as a remnant, a giant cloud of expanding debris made up of mostly iron particles. In 2008, a light echo of the original supernova was discovered, allowing scientists to experience an event that happened 400 years in the past for a 2nd time. This form of time travel has inspired my interest in how a piece of data, such as the light spectrum of SN1572 captured at the Subaru telescope during observations of the light echo, can be used to weave together disparate moments in history and geographical locations that are thousands of miles apart. Bringing together photographs and footage of the ruins of Herrevads Castle in Sweden where the Brahe’s first observed the supernova with imagery from my recent research trip to Maunakea in Hawai’i to visit with scientists at the Subaru Telescope, I will also address how my work combines digital mediums directly with materials produced in a Type 1A supernova explosion such as iron and common silicon compounds. Yonder Talks is a colloquia talk series hosted by Yonder Art•Science at the Niels Bohr Institute, where we aim to showcase synergies between art and science.The series is designed to share inspiring stories about the uncharted possibilities that appear when artistic and scientific methodologies intersect. Whatever your discipline, we hope these stories will plant the seeds of something new. Each colloquium will be followed by a reception. Everyone is welcome! "

Black holes, once the realm of thought experiments, are now being heard in the tremors of spacetime and seen at the heart of our galaxy. Step by step, observation meets theory, and the universe answers back. With Black Hole Week, the Center of Gravity, together with the Niels Bohr Institute and partners, invites the city to a series of events across Copenhagen for anyone curious about where physics is heading.

This talk surveys the scientific opportunities that follow and the role of AI in beamline control, experiment design, and the analysis of the resulting data volumes.

Following a brief history of the problem, we focus on hierarchical triple systems, in which an inner binary is perturbed by a distant body. This problem is amenable to a perturbative expansion in powers of the ratio of the two semimajor axes. We will review some of the remarkable phenomena that occur at variousorders in the expansion, such as the famous Kozai-Lidov oscillations at quadrupole order and orbital flips at octupole order, and will discuss our own work to push the expansion to and beyond hexadecapole order. At dotriocontopole order, a new class of effects arises from the second-order interaction of quadrupole terms, affecting systems where the third body is much more massive than the inner binary. When GR corrections are introduced, additional effects occur, including suppression of Kozai-Lidov oscillations, and new contributions to Mercury’s perihelion advance, potentially detectable by the current Bepi-Colombo mission."
